Are the nuclear reactors in Japan going to explode? If so what will be the consequence?

Question:




Answer:


No. It is literally impossible for any nuclear explosions to happen from a power station. The explosion you keep seeing on the news was not a nuclear explosion. Hydrogen gas built up in the station, ignited, and that caused what you keep seeing.

The power plants in Fukushima have been shut down. But when you shut down a plant it takes a long time to cool off and that is what they are doing right now: cooling off the plants. The tsunami and earthquake damaged some areas of the plants too, which have also caused problems. But it is LITERALLY impossible for a nuclear explosion to happen in this case.
